A Tar Heel Shave.

Bill Nye in the Boston Globe
In the corner near the chair, with a blue fly
net on it. stood tall gentleman OF African de-
scent He smiled pleasantly me through q
pair of IRON bound spectacles. and told me in q
naughty manner to be seated. l sprang gayly
hair of forgotten generations, and Plum Levy
ran his skinny black finger over the desolated
site of my once hair It did not take him long
to decide that it was doubtless a shave that
desired. / like to meet man. be he white or
black, who can jump at conclusion that way
with the utmost agility and always hit it right
He got some hot water out of the saucepan,
slashed his brush around in it, banked up my
nostrils with lather and when had to open my
mouth in order to get place to breathe through,
he stabbed that full of the most uupalatable
soapsuds ever ate.
He picked out razor with white handle,
such as agricultural papers offer to boys for one
new name, and he moved around over my fluffy
cheek. turning my head over SO that the mid
day sun could shine into my works, until
moaned in a low key in spite of myself Oh,
how l wanted to 60 home! How l begged to
see my family once more! How told Mr.
Levy that l knew I had done wrong, and
that had written things about the Southern
climate that were too severe, and that if had
my life to live over again would not do so but,
formf Would he not let me look once more upon
the faces of my wife and children before he cut
upon the other side of my neck2
At last he ralented, and went to the Office Of
a physician.
My friends who recommended Mr.. Levy now
get out Of it by stating that they supposed
wanted my hair cnt They say they never
claimed that Plum Levy could shave for sour
apples, but he can just more chan cut hair.
